Description
M. ornata adversaria Korb, Stradomsky & Kuznetsov, 2015
[TL: Kirghizia, Kirghiz Mts., Ala-Too settlement vicinity, 1100–1200 m] is figured upperside and underside by the authorities (Korb et al. 2015: plate 1 figs 3 & 4). From the photographs of the holotype (Figs 19 A, B, C) it is clear that the specimens figured show the distinguishing characters of the wings and antennae of M. ornata and not of M. phoebe.
